As a core piece of equipment for material fermentation in an organic fertilizer production line, the proper use of a compost turning machine directly impacts production safety and fermentation efficiency. During daily operation, equipment inspection and parameter adjustment must be thoroughly monitored to ensure maximum performance.
A thorough pre-startup inspection is the first line of defense for safe operation. Check the tracks or running wheels for deviation and bolt connections for looseness. In particular, check for breakage or excessive wear on the turning blade assembly to prevent blades from falling off and causing damage to the equipment during operation. Also, clear the fermentation tank of hard objects such as rocks and metal to prevent them from becoming entangled in the turning mechanism and causing it to jam. Electrical system inspection is essential. Ensure cables are intact and grounding is reliable. Install a waterproof cover during rainy weather to prevent electrical leakage.
Parameter adjustment during operation is crucial for ensuring fermentation quality. Dynamically adjust the turning depth and frequency based on the material’s characteristics: High-protein materials like fresh livestock and poultry manure require more frequent turning to ensure ventilation and oxygen supply to prevent anaerobic decay. Crude fiber materials like straw can be turned more deeply to promote even mixing. The turning speed should be matched to the material’s moisture content. If the moisture content is too high, slow the turning speed to reduce clumping. Dry materials can be turned faster to improve efficiency.
Post-downtime maintenance determines the lifespan of the equipment.After each run, clean the blades and trough to prevent caking and compaction, which increases the load at the next start-up. Regularly lubricate bearings, chains, and other transmission components, and promptly replace severely worn parts. When the equipment is idle for extended periods, it should be stored in a dry location, the blades should be coated with anti-rust oil, and the electrical system should be disconnected from the power supply and dust-proofed.
Proper operation of a compost turning machine is not only essential for ensuring production safety, but also a scientific approach to improving fermentation efficiency and reducing operational costs, laying a solid foundation for the resource utilization of organic waste.
